I decided to watch this show because I liked both the leads. After finishing it, I seem to have mixed feelings. I cannot say I disliked the show, but I cannot say I liked it a lot. The initial few episodes were difficult to digest for me, the FL, clearly a bold girl with a high IQ, decides to heed the advice of an online friend in wooing her love interest, despite of the fact that she's never met him. In doing so, she becomes a totally opposite version of herself, which even she doesn't like or identify with. This new version of her supposedly makes the love interest dislike her visibly, but she keeps acting strange which I found very irritating. Now the ML, who is her love interest as well as her online friend, supposedly is already in love with her online version, and is misguiding her so that she doesn't end up with her crush. He clearly likes her but very evidently dislikes her personality in real life. When the misunderstanding clears up and he realises she was actually chasing him in real life, that is when the show gets interesting. Now the chase reverses direction and we find our ML trying to chase our FL and ask for her forgiveness. Apart from this, the show doesn't seem to have a gripping story. After the leads decide to get together, there are random twists and turns thrown here and there to prolong the show. In all, it is an okay one time watch. I would rewatch love me love my voice for the FL and derailment for the ML anytime, but not this show.

Cute, Comical, Light Romance - Easy to Watch
PalmBeachG13 April 2024
Everyone Loves Me romantic comedy C-Drama is cute and comical in places. If it makes me laugh then the comedy is good and cute as not many make me laugh. Also love the gaming theme - but I am partial to gaming theme dramas. It is not the best C-Drama gaming theme I have seen however the ML and FL seem to be a good match together. I did take 1 star off because it is a little slow at times, especially for a gamer's themed atmosphere and although there is urgency in deadlines, etc, the urgency isn't really shown amongst the staff - leaders and workers that much and also a little slow in the story development. It takes awhile for the romance, connection and chemistry between the ML and FL to start to show. But overall, it is an easy to watch, a little slow burn for a gaming theme, cute romance and comical moments. Remember this is a C-Drama, not a K-Drama so they are a little different to get used to but in comparison to other ones I have seen, like this one.

Breaks the streak of Good Chinese Video Game shows
divemabini7 April 2024
The "King's Avatar" was a thoroughly enjoyable, funny, and endearing underdog story with some entertaining (albeit unrealistic) gameplay and gameplay animations.
"Falling into Your Smile" was another really good Chinese video game series, that had plenty of MOBA-style gaming scenes, and a cute love-story.
"Everybody Loves Me" however, is nowhere in the same league. It is incredibly annoying in its writing, and often practically unwatchable. The reason? It is so superficial, in every aspect of the show, that you know some simplistic solution will come along to save the day. There is no real or perceived threat to the main characters that ever pans out in the form of even a slight set-back.
Have difficulty getting qualified staff? Just pilfer them from another division. Don't worry. The owner of the company will never say anything. She's just there for looks.
Have a "Triple-A" deadline that just dropped and is due in a few hours/days and involves a complete rewrite of your business plan, model, coding, animation, promotional materials, etc. Etc. Etc.? Don't worry. Do successfully in a few hours with a dozen or so people (some of them newbies) what a full-blown studio with hundreds of people could never dream of accomplishing in less than a few weeks.
Run into a brick wall and can't make any headway? Don't worry. At least one of the lead characters will know someone privileged and, in a position, to solve all the teams' problems, allowing them to glide along unscathed yet again.
Need to get a deadline finished? Don't worry. Continue to play games during work, answer countless texts and personal calls during work, spend hours eating and socializing during work, and get drunk every night after work. Do not fret...the deadline will magically accomplish itself.
Lastly, the whole "love story" is so bland and ridiculous in its execution, you're left wondering if these two have ever talked to the opposite sex. All the misunderstandings and lack of communication typical of poor writing is on full display here. One or two heartfelt conversations where the leads actually say what they feel would have cleared everything up by episode 4, leaving WAY more time for actual video game development AND character development to be shown on screen. Instead, the behavior of the leads amounts to nothings short of a continuous stream of gaslighting, masochism, and borderline harassment.
And while I wanted to see more development of the characters, the company, the product, etc. I'd do with the show actually being CUT in length. It can't be salvaged content-wise, so make it a grand total of 3 or 4 hours. Condense it, so that things actually appear to be happening and have meaning to the story. The 17 or so hours this show runs is WAY too long.
And stop with the alternate "love interests" who don't stand a chance, and therefore add ZERO to the tension or development of the main characters' love story. These tacked-on one-sided romances are groan-worthy at best and frequently nauseating to the point that your fast-forward button gets a workout.
